Kiko - Lavish Gold (Into The Dark)

 

This is easy to use, easy to apply and okay drying (5-6 minutes a coat). The brush is wide and good and the formula went on well. It is a rich gold and it is really nice, but I don't think it looks too good on me. This lasted really well.

Kiko - Feel Good (Unexpected Paradise)

 

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (3 minutes a coat). The formula is really good and the brush is wide and good. I really don't suit browns and not really a fan of them but this is okay. I only bought it to complete the Unexpected Paradise Set, used to be obsessive that way haha! It is really good quality though.

Kiko - Metallic Light Grey

 

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (2 minutes a coat). The brush is small but good and the formula is okay. It is a nice enough grey silver polish. Brushstrokes are slightly visible, but not too bad really. This lasted really well.

Kiko - Metallic Imperial Violet

 

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (1-2 minutes a coat). The brush is small so make sure you have plenty polish on it as this is prone to patching when painting. The formula is so so. I wasn't really impressed with it to be honest! The colour is gorgeous, that I like. This got tipwear really quickly too. Nice colour but not so great quality.

Kiko - Periwinkle Cream (Candy Split)

 

This is easy to use, easy to apply and slow drying on the second and third coats (9-10 minutes). It is quick on the first though! The brush is good and the formula too, it goes on nicely. It has a lovely shimmer and is iridescent. It is also slightly textured. This lasted really well.

Kiko - Fascinating Red (Arctic Holiday)

 

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (1-2 minutes a coat). The brush is medium sized and good. The formula paints well but you need to dab it on a little too. It is a nice red glitter. I think it looks slightly better over the white but does look good over the blue and solo. This lasted really well.

Kiko - Allegory Of Spring (Tuscan Sunshine Collection)

 

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (2-3 minutes a coat). The brush is wide but good and the formula goes on nicely. This is also scented and smells like flowers. The scent was strong at first and lasted for at least 19 hours. The polish itself lasted well too.

Kiko - Metallic Tangerine (060)

 

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (1 minute a coat). Both the brush and formula are really good. And it lives up to the fast dry claim certainly! It is a nice orange gold with a shimmer but I still am not sure it looks good on me and think it looks too "peachy" and I really don't suit such colours. Noticed tip wear but lasted well otherwise. Great quality but just not my colour!

Kiko - Teal Blue

 

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (2-3 minutes a coat). It is supposed to be quick drying but wouldn't say it was super speedy haha! The brush is medium sized and good and the formula is okay. It is a nice dark blue but not what I would call "teal". This lasted okay and I like these deep dark blues. This DID NOT stain. Sometimes blues can stain, but this thankfully didn't!

Kiko - Golden Lavender (Holographic)

 

Last photo studio lighting, all others in the sunshine!

This is easy to use, easy to apply and slow drying (7-8 minutes a coat). The others in this collection are also slow. The formula is really good and the brush too. This is a lovely purple holographic polish that has a slight shimmer too, you can just make it out in the second photo at the side of the bottle. Sadly this shimmer isn't really visible on the nails. This lasted really well and is truly gorgeous!

Kiko - Twee Rose (Arctic Holiday Collection)

 

This is easy to use, easy to apply and good drying (2 minutes a coat). The brush is wide but really good and the polish goes on nicely. It is a lovely glitter both as a topper and solo. It also didn't catch on anything, always a bonus with these glitters! Lasted really well.

Kiko - Pindaric Flight (Tuscan Sunshine Collection)

 

This is okay to use, okay to apply and okay drying (5 minutes a coat). It is quite a sheer polish and the formula is quite runny too. The brush is wide and good. This is also scented and smells like pretty flowers. Sadly this polish is unforgiving to ridges, which I have. This lasted well and is nice enough.
